On Windows it is not possible. On Unix systems, it we currently
leave the choice to the end user.
You're right, the calling protocol for Linux/PIC on x86_64 is
disgusting.
Never-the-less .. we build our run time library
as a collection of small and distinct shared libs by default.
The point being -- it's the customer's choice not the vendor's.

You can blame the ANSI C committee for 'typedef'
which made C into a context sensitive language.
This is one of the faults of C/C++ which Felix fixes, we use
fun f .. // function (no side effects allowed)
proc f .. // procedure (must have side effects)
gen f .. // generator: a function with 'side inputs'
and the overall syntax is LALR1 (yaccable) without ambiguity.
